Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide care in a manner that honor the
resident's right to a dignified existence to two of two sampled residents (Resident 23 and 238) investigated
during review of dignity care area by:
1. Failing to ensure Resident 23's indwelling urinary catheter (flexible tube inserted in the bladder through
the urethra to drain urine) drainage bag was covered with a dignity bag (a bag used to cover the urinary
catheter drainage bag, so it is not visible).
2. Failing to ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) was not standing over Resident 238 while
assisting the resident with feeding.
These deficient practices had the potential to affect the residents' self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 23's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/13/2024, with
diagnoses including respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 23's History and Physical (H&P), dated, 4/3/2024, indicated the resident had a history
of hyperuricemia (too much uric acid in the blood) and status post (s/p) septic shock (a life-threatening
condition that happens when the blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection). The
H&P indicated the resident was on a ventilator (a machine that helps a person breathe) with occasional
grunting.
A review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/20/2023, indicated the resident rarely to never had the ability to make self-understood and
understand others. The MDS indicated the resident had an indwelling catheter. The MDS indicated the
resident had an active diagnosis of renal insufficiency (poor function of the kidneys), urinary tract infection
(UTI, a bacterial infection of the bladder and associated structures), and depression.
A review of Resident 23's Care Plan titled, Altered Urinary Elimination/At Risk for UTI/At Risk for Skin
Breakdown, initiated on 8/26/2020, indicated interventions that included providing privacy bag as required
and applying leg strap to secure catheter tubing.

or potential for actual harm
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 11:15 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
1 (LVN 1), in Resident 23's room, observed the resident's urinary catheter drainage bag hanging on the left
lower part of the bed, visible from the doorway and without a dignity bag. LVN 1 stated the urinary catheter
drainage bag should have been covered with dignity bag to protect the privacy of the resident and to
promote the resident's right to a dignified existence.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 7:37 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated staff should
have placed a dignity bag on the resident's urinary catheter drainage bag to provide dignity to Resident 23.
The NM stated without the dignity bag, the resident's urine in the drainage bag is visible to visitors and
other residents' family members.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Standards of Care- Sub Acute (is intensive, but to a
lesser degree than acute care), last revised on 3/2024, indicated an individualized plan of care is
implemented for residents requiring an indwelling catheter that includes use of a dignity cover to protect the
resident's privacy and dignity.
2. A review of Resident 238's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/4/2024, with
diagnoses including of respiratory failure.
A review of Resident 238's H&P, dated 2/5/2024, indicated the resident had a history of cerebrovascular
accident (CVA, an interruption in the flow of blood to cells in the brain) and pulmonary embolism (a sudden
blockage of a blood vessel in the lung). The H&P indicated the resident moves all extremities, no focal
deficits (is not specific to a certain area of the brain), and non-verbal.
A review of Resident 238's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident rarely to never had the ability to
make self-understood and understand others. The MDS indicated the resident had hemiplegia (one-sided
muscle paralysis or weakness) or hemiparesis (weakness of one entire side of the body).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 8:49 a.m., in Resident 238's room,
observed the resident's head of bed (HOB) elevated 80 to 90 degrees and Certified Nursing Assistant 1
(CNA 1) standing over the resident, while assisting the resident with feeding. CNA 1 stated he should have
sat on an eye level with the resident to provide the resident dignity. CNA 1 stated standing over the resident
while feeding the resident conveys disrespect to the resident.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 7:37 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated CNA 1 should
have sat on a chair within eye level with Resident 238 while assisting the resident to eat to convey respect
to the resident. The NM also stated sitting at an eye level keeps the staff aware when the resident was
choking or not swallowing the food.
A review of the Lippincott procedure Manual provided by the facility titled, Feeding, last revised on
12/11/2023, indicated meeting such patient's nutritional needs requires determining the patient's food
preferences; feeding the patient in a friendly, unhurried manner; encouraging self-feeding whenever
possible to promote independence and dignity; and documenting intake and output. Position a chair next to
the patient's bed so you can sit comfortably if you need to assist with feeding. Face the patient during
feeding, make eye contact, and use a gentle tone of voice.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the physician of one of one sampled
resident's (Resident 37) who continued to have blood in the urine (hematuria) with presence of clots.
Resident 37, who had an indwelling urinary catheter (IUC, a hollow flexible tube inserted in the bladder [the
organ that stores urine] to drain urine) and was on blood thinner medication, was having hematuria from
1/12/2024 at 11:40 a.m. to 1/15/2024 and the attending physician (Physician 1) was not informed.
As a result, on 1/15/2024 at 9:11 p.m., Resident 37 required emergency transfer to General Acute Care
Hospital 1 (GACH 1) where Resident 37 was found with elevated body temperature (fever) and abdominal
distention (abnormally swollen outward) requiring removal of the IUC with significant hematuria draining
immediately after its removal. Resident 37 required intermittent catheterization (draining urine by passing a
catheter through the urethra [the tube between the bladder and the external part of the body, which allows
urine to be eliminated from the bladder] into the bladder which is removed after the urine has been drained)
obtaining 800 milliliters (ml, unit of measure) of dark red urine. Resident 37 was diagnosed with septic
shock (a life-threatening widespread infection causing organ failure and dangerously low blood pressure),
urinary tract infection (UTI - infection that happens when germs enter the urethra [the tube that conducts
urine from the bladder to the outside of the body] and infect the urinary tract), and pneumonia (an infection
of one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi).
Cross reference F690.
Findings:
A review of Resident 37's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 37 on 12/27/2023 with
diagnoses including ischemic stroke (when a blood clot, known as a thrombus, blocks or plugs an artery
leading to the brain), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (when a person has an irregular heartbeat in the upper
chambers of the heart), and acute respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe
on your own). Resident 37 was dependent on a ventilator (a machine used to help a patient breathe).
A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 1/3/2024, indicated Resident 37 had severe cognitive impairment (involving conscious intellectual
activity such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering). The MDS indicated Resident 37 was dependent on
staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs, such as oral hygiene, toilet use, bathing, dressing, etc.). The MDS
further indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility with an IUC.
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 12/27/2023, indicated Apixaban (Eliquis, blood thinner
[anticoagulant] used to treat and prevent blood clots and to prevent stroke) 5 milligram (mg - unit of
measurement) tablet 5 mg twice daily for atrial fibrillation.
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 12/28/2023. indicated to insert an IUC for acute urinary
retention (inability to urinate) and/or obstruction (blockage).
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 1/2/2024, indicated to hold (not to administer) Eliquis.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the residents were free from any
physical restraints (any manual method, physical or mechanical device, material or equipment that is
attached or adjacent to the patient's body that he or she cannot easily remove that restricts freedom of
movement or normal access to one's body) to three out of four sampled residents (Residents 24, 23, and 5)

Residents Affected - Some
1. Failing to complete an assessment for risk of entrapment prior to use of four bed siderails (SR) up (raised
[up] position on bilateral [two sides] upper [area including arms, shoulders, and head] and bilateral lower
[area including legs]).
2. Failing to obtain a physician's order for the use of four bed SR up and bed alarms (warn caregivers when
residents leave or attempt to leave their beds).
3. Failing to obtain an informed consent prior to use of four bed SR up while in bed and bed alarms.
These deficient practices placed the resident at risk for restriction from freedom of movement, decline in
physical functioning, psychosocial harm, physical harm from entrapment, and death.
Cross reference F700
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 24's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 7/16/2020
and readmitted the resident on 3/31/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury (a form of
acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain which may result to
disability or death), dysphagia (a condition in which swallowing is difficult or painful), percutaneous
endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG - also known at GT, a surgical procedure to insert a tube through the
abdomen and into the stomach used for feeding, usually via a feeding tube) placement, and chronic
respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which the lungs have a hard time loading the blood with oxygen
which may result to low oxygen level).
A review of Resident 24's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/3/2023, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
1/29/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic
tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 24's Morse Fall Risk Assessment every shift dated 4/11/2024, 4/12/2024, 4/13/2024,
and 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was a medium risk for falls and a high risk for injury.
A review of Resident 24's Order Reports did not indicate an order for four bed SR up.

Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 24's every shift assessment by licensed nurses did not indicate the resident was
assessed for possible entrapment with the use of four bed SR up prior to use.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024 at 10:15 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
3 (LVN 3), observed Resident 24 in bed with four SR up. LVN 3 stated the resident places her right leg over
the SR most of the time and placing four SR in raised up position is for the safety of the resident. LVN 3
stated the resident is at risk for falls and the SR prevent the resident from falling.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/13/2024 at 10:39 a.m., with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2),
RN 2 stated Resident 24's four bed SR were placed in raised position while in bed for the resident's safety,
to prevent falls and possibly injury as resident moves a lot in the bed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/13/2024 at 4:00 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist
(IP), Resident 24's medical record including assessments, physician orders and informed consents were
reviewed. The IP verified the resident did not have an assessment, physician's order, and consent for the
use of four bed SR up while in bed because the facility does not consider SR as restraints.
During an interview on 4/14/2024 at 1:15 p.m., with the Nurse Clinician (NC), the NC stated the use four SR
up while the resident is in bed is considered use of a restraint. The NC stated there should have been an
order from the physician and assessment for entrapment risk for SR use prior to use of four SR up.
During an interview on 4/14/2024 at 1:17 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated placing the
resident's all four SR up is considered use of a restraint and there should have been an order from the
physician and assessment for entrapment risk for SR use. The NM stated it is important to notify the
Resident 24's representative of the risks and benefits of using four SR up so they (representative) would be
aware of the potential risks from using the SR such as restriction of movement, decline in functioning and
entrapment which may lead to injuries.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Restraint Use (Sub Acute), last revised on
2/2024, indicated the following:
It is the policy of general acute care hospital 1(GACH 1) to guide care givers on appropriate and safe
management of residents with restraints and utilization of least restrictive alternatives.
Ensure safe and ethical practice for the use of physical restraints, that no person will be restrained against
their will for any period of time longer than necessary.
Restraints are considered medical devices and are only used in the event that the patient is a danger to self
or others. Consent for restraint is signed by legal representative/decision-maker.

A review of Resident 23's Fall Risk Assessment (FRA), dated 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was a
medium risk for fall and at high risk for falls with injury. The FRA included the documentation of the
application of the bed alarms. The FRA did include documentation of the resident using four side rails up in
bed.
A review of Resident 23's Care Plan titled, Problem: Fall Injury Risk, undated, indicated an intervention to
avoid use of devices that minimize mobility such as restraints.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 11:15 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
1 (LVN 1), in Resident 23's room, observed Resident 23 in bed with four SR in raised position and a bed
alarm in place. LVN 1 stated the resident's bed had all four side rails up and a bed alarm in place to prevent
injuries resulting from falls. LVN 1 stated placing all 4 side rails up is considered use of a restraint. LVN 1
stated she is unsure if placement of bed alarm is considered a restraint. LVN 1 stated the bed alarm is to
alert the staff if the resident is getting out of bed. LVN 1 stated a physician's order and consent from the
resident's representative should be obtained prior to SR use.
During a review of Residents 23's Physical Chart on 4/13/2024, at 4:37 p.m., there was no documented
evidence a consent for use of four side rails up and bed alarm was obtained from the resident and or the
resident's representative.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 1:17 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated placing the
resident's all four SR up is considered use of a restraint. The NM stated a physician's order, an assessment
for entrapment risk, and consent from the resident or the resident representative (RR) should be in place
prior to use of side rails. The NM stated the resident, or the RR should be informed of the risk and the
benefits of using the restraints prior to application. The NM stated the bed alarms are used to notify the
nurse if the resident is getting out of the bed and is not considered a restraint. The NM stated the
application of four side rails up prevents the resident from getting out of bed thus hindering the resident
from moving freely. The NM stated hindering the resident movement could potentially cause debilitation and
injuries.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Restraint Use (Sub Acute), last revised on
2/2024, indicated in keeping with the mission and values of General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) to
guide care givers on appropriate and safe management of residents with restraints and utilization of least
restrictive alternatives. To ensure safe and ethical practice for the use of physical restraints in the
Sub-Acute Unit and that no person will be restrained against their will for any period of time longer than
necessary. Restraints are considered medical devices and are only used in the event that the patient is a
danger to self or others. Consent for restraint is signed by legal representative/decision-maker. The licensed
nurse will assess the patient and attempt to find less restrictive alternatives to restraint. Licensed healthcare
practitioner order is required; orders for restraints obtained by telephone will be signed by the physician
within five days; restraints are reordered every 30 days if continued need is assessed. Documentation on
restraints will include device(s):

3. A review of Resident 5's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 8/28/2021, with
diagnoses including gastrointestinal (GI, relating to, or including both the stomach and intestine) bleed.
A review of Resident 5's H&P, dated 8/18/2023, indicated the resident had a history of alcohol abuse, and
had a pedestrian accident sustaining bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH, a bleeding in the space
below one of the thin layers that cover and protect the brain), left subdural hemorrhage (SDH, a buildup of
blood on the surface of the brain), with multiple facial bone fracture (partial or complete break in the bone).
The H&P indicated the resident was awake and interactive with agitation and delirium (a mental state in
which a person is confused and has reduced awareness of their surroundings).
A review of Resident 5's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident sometimes makes self-understood and
understand others. The MDS indicated the resident had behavioral symptoms not directed towards others.
The MDS indicated the resident was on a bed alarm.
A review of Resident 5's FRA, dated 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was assessed as medium risk for fall
and use of bed alarm was in place, The FRA did not indicate use of all four side rails up.
A review of Resident 5's Care Plan titled, Problem: Fall Injury Risk, initiated on 8/2/2023, indicated the
resident had a fall episode, found resident sitting on the floor at the right side of the bed on 8/2/2023. The
Care Plan indicated the resident had lack of safety awareness/judgment due to impaired cognition (a term
for mental processes that take place in the brain, including thinking, attention, language, learning, memory,
and perception) and needed assistance during transfer from bed to shower gurney or vice versa.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 10:55 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
2 (LVN 2), in Resident 5's room, observed Resident 5 in bed with four SR in raised position and a bed
alarm in place. LVN 2 stated the resident's bed had all four side rails up and a bed alarm is in place to
prevent the resident from falling. LVN 2 stated use of side rails and bed alarm do not need a physician's and
consent from the resident's representative. LVN 2 stated he does not consider use of four side rails up and
bed alarms as restraints. LVN 2 stated the side rails are up so the resident will not be able to get out of bed
and the bed alarms are to alert the staff if the resident is getting out of bed, to prevent falls.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/13/2024, at 2:13 p.m., with Registered Nurse 4 (RN
4), reviewed Resident 5's All Active Orders, Flow Sheet, and Media. RN 4 stated there was no documented
evidence of informed consent for side rails and entrapment risk assessment for side rail use. RN 4 stated
the resident's bed had all four side rails up and a bed alarm is in place to prevent falls.
During a review of Residents 5's Physical Chart on 4/13/2024, at 4:37 p.m., there was no documented
evidence a consent for use of four side rails up and bed alarm was obtained from the resident and or the
resident's representative.

During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 1:15 p.m., with the Nurse Clinician (NC), the NC stated use of four
side rails up is considered use of a restraint and required an order from the physician. The NC also stated
the resident should have an assessment for side rail use to ensure safety. The NC stated use of four side
rails up and bed alarm was implemented to prevent Resident 5 from getting out of the bed and to alert the
staff if the resident was getting out of bed. The NC stated the use of bed alarm is not considered use of a
restraint.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 1:17 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated placing the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized
assessment and screening tool) assessments were successfully transmitted timely to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, a federal agency that administers major healthcare programs) for
four out of 14 sampled residents (Residents 12, 18, 23, and 27) investigated under the resident
assessment care area.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the provision of necessary care and services
needed by the residents.
Findings:
a.A review of Resident 12's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 12/6/2021
and readmitted the resident on 11/22/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury (acquired brain
injury that occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain which may result to disability or
death), cardiac arrest (a condition that occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping
and unable to deliver blood to the body), and percutaneous endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG - also known at
GT, a surgical procedure to insert a tube through the abdomen and into the stomach used for feeding,
usually via a feeding tube) placement.
A review of Resident 12's MDS dated [DATE], indicated the resident was in a persistently vegetative state
and was totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be
accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/14/2024 at 8:06 p.m., reviewed Resident 12's list of
Completed MDS Assessments tracking log in the electronic health record (EHR) with the Minimum Data
Set Coordinator (MDSC). The MDSC verified that Resident 12's annual and quarterly MDS assessments
dated 3/1/2023, 6/1/2023, 9/1/2023, and 12/1/2023 status remained exported. The MDSC stated after
exporting the assessments, there will be a validation report after successful transmission from the CMS
and needed to be reconciled by the MDSC for CMS to accept the assessment. The MDSC verified the CMS
final validation report for Resident 12's MDS assessments dated 3/1/2023, 6/1/2023, 9/1/2023, and
12/1/2023 indicated there have been no CMS final validation report for the assessments; hence,
transmissions were not successful and not accepted. The MDSC stated the validation report should have
been reconciled by the previous MDSC for the assessments to be accepted to prevent delay in the
provision of necessary care and services the resident needs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/14/2022 at 8:45 p.m., reviewed Resident 12's list of
Completed MDS Assessments tracking log in the electronic health record (EHR) with the Nurse Manger
(NM). The NM verified Resident 12's MDS assessments dated 3/1/2023, 6/1/2023, 9/1/2023, and 12/1/2023
remained in the exported status and stated the facility has a new Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC)
as the previous MDSC left abruptly without a handoff report of pending assessments. The NM stated the
previous MDSC should have completed the process of submission and transmission of MDS assessments.
The NM stated MDS assessments give a picture of what are the necessary care and services the residents
needs and if assessments were not accepted by the CMS, there could be a potential delay in the provision
of care for the residents if not addressed timely and appropriately.

This deficient practice has the potential to negatively affect Resident 24's plan of care and delivery of
necessary care and services.
Findings:
A review of Resident 24's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 7/16/2020 and
readmitted the resident on 3/31/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury (a form of acquired
brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain which may result to disability or
death), dysphagia (a condition in which swallowing is difficult or painful), percutaneous endoscopic
gastrotomy (PEG - also known at GT, a surgical procedure to insert a tube through the abdomen and into
the stomach used for feeding, usually via a feeding tube) placement, and chronic respiratory failure (a
long-term condition in which the lungs have a hard time loading the blood with oxygen which may result to
low oxygen level).
A review of Resident 24's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/3/2023, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
1/29/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic
tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS did not indicate the
resident was using a limb restraint.
A review of Resident 24's Order Report dated 4/2/2024, indicated an order:
- May apply right peek-a-boo mitt (hand mitten) to prevent self-harm/injury by pulling tubes/medical devices
for 30 days.
A review of Resident 24's Facility Verification of Informed Consent for Use of Restraints or prolonged use of
a device dated 4/1/2024, 3/1/2024, 2/1/2024, 1/17/2024, indicated informed consent was obtained by the
physician from Family Member 1 (FM 1).
A review of Resident 24's care plan on restraint/seclusion use for patient safety initiated 1/17/2024 with
target date 7/14/2024 indicated may apply right peek-a-boo mitt to prevent self-harm/injury by pulling
tubes/medical devices for 90 days.

Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/14/2024 at 8:50 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 24's MDS assessment was reviewed. The DON verified the MDS was coded inaccurately
because it did not reflect the resident's use of a restraint (peek-a-boo mitten). The DON stated not coding
the MDS accurately had the potential to delay provision of care.
A review of Long Term-Care Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual (a manual published by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS - the federal agency that provides health coverage to
more than 160 million and works in partnership with the entire health community to improve quality, equity,
and outcomes in the healthcare system] to disseminate information to facilitate accurate and effective
resident assessment practices in long term-care facilities), last updated 10/2023, indicated federal
regulations require that the assessment accurately reflects the resident's status.

(NM), the NM stated there was no care plan for Resident 37's indwelling urinary catheter. The NM stated
there should be a care plan addressing the resident's indwelling catheter because the care plan determines
the plan, interventions, evaluation, and assessments regarding treatment. The NM stated without a care
plan, they are unable to set the goals of treatment and implement interventions.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/14/2024 at 8:35 p.m. with the Nurse Manager (NM),
Resident 37's care plans were reviewed. The NM stated there was no care plan for the use of Eliquis. The
NM stated without a care plan there is no guidelines or goals for treatment. The NM stated not having a
care plan for the use of Eliquis had the potential for not monitoring the resident for bleeding.
A review of the current facility-provided policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Documentation, Clinical (Sub
Acute), last revised on 3/2024 indicated all clinical documentation reflects a systemic, interdisciplinary
approach to resident care. Care is based on outcome/goals listed in the care plan. An interdisciplinary care
plan is constructed within 7 days of admission. This care plan outlines focused problems and interventions
selected by the health care team. For residents staying longer than 7 days.

During an interview on 4/14/2024 at 8:45 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) verified there was no care plan
addressing the use of SRs. The NM stated a care plan is important because it provides instructions to the
healthcare team on how to properly care for Resident 24.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Documentation, Clinical (Sub Acute), last
reviewed and approved on 3/2024, indicated the following:
General acute care hospital 1 (GACH 1) ensures accurate clinical documentation in the resident's
electronic health record.
GACH 1 ensures all information pertinent to each resident's individual care are accurately and effectively
communicated.
An interdisciplinary care plan is constructed within seven (7) days of admission and outlines focused
problems and interventions selected by the health care team. For residents staying longer than 7 days, the
facility follows the procedure for MDS.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to:
1. Develop and implement a care plan for bed alarm (device that warns caregivers when residents leave or
attempt to leave their beds) use to two of four sampled residents investigated during review of restraints
(Residents 23 and 5).
2. Develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for use of four bed siderails (SR) to
three of four sampled residents (Resident 23, 24 and 5) investigated during review of restraints.
These deficient practices had the potential for residents to not receive the proper and necessary care
regarding SRs and bed alarm use with the potential to result in injury of the resident by failing to provide
ongoing assessment, monitoring, and re-evaluation of SRs and restraints.
3. Ensure Resident 37 had a care plan addressing the use of apixaban (Eliquis-a FDA-approved to treat
and prevent certain types of dangerous blood clots that can block blood vessels in your body) to one out of
two sampled residents investigated during review of closed records.
4. Ensure Resident 37 had a care plan addressing the use of an indwelling catheter (a hollow flexible tube
inserted in the bladder through the urethra to drain urine) to one out of one sampled resident being
investigated during review of review of closed records.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in inconsistent implementation of the care plan that may
lead to a delay in or lack of delivery of care and services.

from lying in bed, sitting in a wheelchair, or wearing a cast for a long period) to three of three sampled
residents (Residents 23, 27, and 14) being investigated under pressure ulcers by failing to consistently:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Assess and follow facility's policy and procedure of taking pictures and documenting the measurement of
the stage 4 pressure injury (full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle) of Resident 23
on the sacrum (a triangular bone at the base of the spine) and the occipital area (the back of the head).
2. Assess and follow facility's policy and procedure of taking pictures and documenting the measurement of
the stage 4 pressure injury of Resident 27 on the sacrum.
3. Assess and follow facility's policy and procedure of taking pictures and documenting the appearance of
the moisture related skin damage (MASD, caused by prolonged exposure to various sources of moisture,
including urine or stool, perspiration, wound exudate, mucus, saliva, and their contents) on the sacral area
of Resident 14.
These deficient practices had the potential for development and worsening of pressure ulcers/injuries to
residents.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 23's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility admitted the resident on
3/13/2024, with a diagnosis of respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 23's History & Physical (H&P), dated 4/3/2024, indicated the resident had history of
sacral decubiti ulcers (damage to an area of the skin caused by constant pressure on the area for a long
time) and venous insufficiency (a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs
back to the heart). The H&P indicated the resident was on a ventilator (a machine that helps a person
breathe) with occasional grunting.
A review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/20/2023, indicated the resident rarely to never had the ability to make self-understood and
understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 23 was incontinent of bowel (feces). The MDS also
indicated Resident 23 was at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries and had two unhealed stage 4
pressure injuries with pressure ulcer/injury care.
A review of Resident 23's Braden Scale Assessment (BSA), dated 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was
bedfast, completely immobile, and high risk for pressure ulcer/injury.
A review of Resident 23's All Active Orders, dated 3/16/2024, indicated an order for:
-Wound care sacrococcyx (the tailbone) pressure injury stage 4 until discontinued.

A review of Resident 23's Care Plans titled, Problem: Impaired Wound Healing, initiated on 8/25/2020, and
Problem: Skin Injury Risk Increased, undated, indicated interventions to assess and monitor wound for
signs of impaired healing (e.g., drainage or purulent exudate [fluid that leaks out of blood vessels into
nearby tissues], absence of healing ridge, prolonged inflammatory response) and reassess skin (injury risk,
full inspection) frequently (e.g., schedule interval, with change in condition) to provide optimal early
detection and prevention.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/14/2024, at 8:42 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN
1), reviewed the Lines/Drain/airway (LDA) flowsheet of Resident 23 with RN 1. RN1 stated she does weekly
wound assessment, including taking pictures, wound measurements, reviewing and updating of the
pressure injury care plan documented in the multidisciplinary care progress notes. RN 1 stated there were
missing assessments and documentations on the following weeks:
-3/24/2024 to 3/30/2024- wound assessment, measurement, picture, and care plan review documentation.
-1/1/2024, 4/4/2024, and 4/10/2024 - care plan review and revision on the multidisciplinary care progress
notes.
RN 1 stated she was on vacation from 3/24/2024 to 3/30/2024 and she did not know why the wound
assessments were not done. RN 1 stated that it was important to follow the weekly wound assessments
and documentations to see if the wound was progressing, and to inform the doctor or the wound specialist
to intervene if there was a worsening of the pressure injury.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 7:49 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated the treatment nurses
should make sure they perform weekly wound assessment, including taking pictures, wound
measurements, reviewing and updating of the pressure injury care plan documented in the multidisciplinary
care progress notes to monitor the wound for worsening or healing of the wound. The NM stated if there
was worsening of pressure injury, timely assessment and reporting was very crucial so the interdisciplinary
team can be informed, and the attending physician and the wound specialist can step in. The NM stated
between 3/24/2024 to 3/30/2024 they were short staffed, their wound nurse was on vacation, they had a
float nurse, and they got an acute nurse rehab float, and she did not do it.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident
37), who had an indwelling urinary catheter (IUC, a hollow flexible tube inserted in the bladder [the organ
that stores urine] to drain urine), was on blood thinner medication, and had recent hematuria (blood in the
urine) with presence of clots, received care and services to prevent complications including continued
hematuria, urinary retention (inability to urinate) and/or obstruction (blockage), urinary tract infection (UTI infection that happens when germs enter the urethra [the tube that conducts urine from the bladder to the
outside of the body], and infect the urinary tract).
As a result, on 1/15/2024 at 9:11 p.m., Resident 37 required emergency transfer to General Acute Care
Hospital 1 (GACH 1) where Resident 37 was found with elevated body temperature (fever), abdominal
distention (abnormally swollen outward) required removal of the IUC with significant hematuria draining
immediately after its removal. Resident 37 required intermittent catheterization (draining urine by passing a
catheter through the urethra into the bladder which is removed after the urine has been drained) obtaining
800 milliliters (ml, unit of measure) of dark red urine with foul odor. Resident 37 was diagnosed with septic
shock (a life-threatening widespread infection causing organ failure and dangerously low blood pressure),
UTI, and pneumonia (an infection of one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi).
Cross reference F580.
Findings:
A review of Resident 37's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 37 on 12/27/2023 with
diagnoses including ischemic stroke (when a blood clot, known as a thrombus, blocks or plugs an artery
leading to the brain), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (when a person has an irregular heartbeat in the upper
chambers of the heart), and acute respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe
on your own). Resident 37 was dependent on a ventilator (a machine used to help a patient breathe).
A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 1/3/2024, indicated Resident 37 had severe cognitive impairment (involving conscious intellectual
activity such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering). The MDS indicated Resident 37 was dependent on
staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs, such as oral hygiene, toilet use, bathing, dressing, etc.). The MDS
further indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility with an IUC.
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 12/27/2023, indicated Apixaban (Eliquis, blood thinner
[anticoagulant] used to treat and prevent blood clots and to prevent stroke) 5 milligram (mg - unit of
measurement) tablet 5 mg twice daily for atrial fibrillation.
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 12/28/2023, indicated to insert an IUC for acute urinary
retention (inability to urinate) and/or obstruction (blockage).
A review of Resident 37's Physician Order, dated 1/2/2024, indicated to hold (not to administer) Eliquis.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to
prevent complications of enteral feeding (EF - a form of nutrition that is delivered into the digestive system
as a liquid) for three of three sampled residents (Residents 24, 26, and 191) investigated under the tube
feeding care area by:
1. Failing to ensure Resident 24's EF bottle indicated the correct date and time the current bottle was
started, and the water flush bag indicated the date and time started and the rate prescribed by the
physician.
2. Failing to ensure Resident 26's and 191's EF bottle indicated the rate as prescribed by the physician.
3. Failing to ensure Resident 26' and 191's water flush bag indicated the date and time started and the rate
prescribed by the physician.
These deficient practices had the potential to place Residents 24, 26, and 191 at risk for complications of
enteral feeding such as diarrhea (loose, watery stools when you poop) or vomiting which may lead to
dehydration (loss or removal of water).
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 24's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility originally admitted the
resident on 7/16/2020 and readmitted the resident on 3/31/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic brain
injury (a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain which
may result to disability or death), dysphagia (a condition in which swallowing is difficult or painful),
percutaneous endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG - also known at GT, a surgical procedure to insert a tube
through the abdomen and into the stomach used for feeding, usually via a feeding tube) placement, and
chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which the lungs have a hard time loading the blood with
oxygen which may result to low oxygen level).
A review of Resident 24's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/3/2023, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated
1/29/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic
tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 24's physician's order, dated 11/29/2023, indicated the following order:
-Hydration/water tube feeding (TF) amount 200 milliliters (ml - a unit of measurement for liquids) every six
(6) hours.
-Continuous TF carbohydrate controlled: Diabetisource AC (a tube feeding formula made with a unique
blend of carbohydrates that includes pureed fruits and vegetables to help with nutritional

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents resident receive
care and services for the provision of parenteral fluids (medicines or fluids that go directly into the vein)
consistent with professional standards of practice to two out of two sampled residents (Residents 21 and
238) investigated during random observations of residents receiving parenteral/intravenous (IV, within a
vein) fluids by failing to label the peripheral IV (indwelling single-lumen plastic conduits that allow fluids,
medications and other therapies such as blood products to be introduced directly into a peripheral vein)
dressing with the date of when the IV was inserted or when the dressing was changed and the licensed
nurse's initials who inserted the IV or changed the dressing.
Residents Affected - Few
The deficient practice had the potential for complications related to intravenous fluid administration such as
infiltration, bruising, phlebitis (inflammation of a vein), and infections.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 21's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/1/2021, with
diagnoses including respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 21's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/24/2024, indicated the resident had a history
of sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection), on a ventilator (a machine that helps a person
breathe) via tracheostomy (an opening surgically created through the neck into the trachea [windpipe] to
allow air to fill the lungs). The H&P indicated the resident does not follow commands.
A review of Resident 21's All Active Orders, dated 2/19/2022, indicated an order for hypoglycemia (low
blood sugar) management until discontinued. If unable to eat, gastrointestinal (GI) tract unavailable of the
patient is unconscious:
-if a large bore intravenous (IV) or central line (a tube that doctors place in a large vein in the neck, chest,
groin, or arm to give fluids, blood, medications or to do medical tests quickly) is already in place, infuse 25
grams (a unit of weight) (50 cubic centimeter [cc, a unit of volume]) of D50 (50% dextrose injection
indicated in the treatment of low blood sugar) IV push within 3 to 9 minutes.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 10:39 a.m., with Respiratory Therapist 1
(RT 1), in Resident 21's room, observed an unlabeled peripheral IV line, gauge 22 (needle gauge size) on
the resident's right arm. RT 1 stated the peripheral IV was not labeled with a date and was not initialed by
the licensed nurse who inserted or changed the dressing of the peripheral IV.
During an interview on 4/13/2024, at 10:42 a.m., with Registered Nurse 6 (RN 6), RN 6 stated the
peripheral IV should have been labeled with the insertion date or when the dressing was changed so that
staff will know when to start a new line or when to change the dressing. RN 6 stated not dating the
peripheral IV can result in staff not knowing when to change the dressing or start a new line which had the
potential to lead to an infection.

A review of Resident 238's H&P, dated 2/5/2024, indicated the resident had a history of pulmonary
embolism (a sudden blockage of a blood vessel in the lung) and septic shock (a life-threatening condition
that happens when the blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection). The H&P
indicated the resident moves all extremities, no focal deficits (not specific to a certain area of the brain), and
non-verbal.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 238's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/8/2023, indicated the resident rarely to never hand the ability to make self-understood and
understand others.
A review of Resident 238's All Active Orders, dated 2/4/2024, indicated an order for hypoglycemia
management until discontinued. If unable to eat, GI tract unavailable of the patient is unconscious:
-if a large bore IV or central line is already in place, infuse 25 grams (50 cc) of D50 IV push within 3 to 9
minutes.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 8:49 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
2 (CNA 2), in Resident 238's room, observed a peripheral IV line, gauge 24 on Resident 238's right hand.
CNA 2 stated the IV dressing did not have a date and did not have the licensed nurse's initials. CNA 2
stated the IV line was not dated. CNA 2 stated she knew that IV lines should be dated for infection control
purposes, so the licensed nurses knew when to start a new IV or change the dressing.
During an interview on 4/13/2024, at 11:38 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated
Resident 328's peripheral IV line should be dated and initialed, so they know when to change the line, to
prevent infection.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 7:58 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated the peripheral
IV line should be dated and initialed by the nurse who started the line or changed the dressing, so the
licensed nurses know when to reinsert a new line or change the dressing. The NM stated not labeling the
peripheral IV lines could potentially result in missed dressing care or new insertions which can lead to
phlebitis (vein flammation) and cellulitis (a common bacterial skin infection that causes redness, swelling,
and pain in the infected area of the skin).
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Comprehensive Vascular Access Management,
last reviewed on 5/2023, indicated frequency of dressing changes:
a. Dressings are to be changed every seven (7) days or earlier if soiled, damp, or loose.
b. Gauze dressings are to be changed every 48 hours and as needed.
The dressing will be labeled, indicating the date of insertion.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide residents with necessary
respiratory care and services that is in accordance with professional standards of practice to one out of one
sampled resident (Resident 34) investigated during review of respiratory care by failing to connect the trach
collar (used to hold a tracheostomy tube [a tube constructed of polyvinyl chloride that is placed between the
vocal cords through the wind pipe] in place) to the oxygen humidifier (medical devices used to humidify
supplemental oxygen) and oxygen regulator to ensure delivery of oxygen required to keep the resident's
oxygen saturation (O2 sat, measures what percentage of the blood is saturated with oxygen) above 92%.
Residents Affected - Few
The deficient practice had a potential to cause Resident 34 hypoxia (absence of enough oxygen in the
tissues to sustain bodily functions) resulting in respiratory problems.
Findings:
A review of Resident 34's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/8/2023, with
diagnose including respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 34's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/10/2023, indicated the resident had a fall
and sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI, a form of acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma
causes damage to the brain). The H&P indicated the resident was awake but non-communicative.
A review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/1/2023, indicated the resident rarely to never had the ability to make self-understood and
understand others.
A review of Resident 34's All Active Orders, dated 3/21/2024, indicated an order for:
-Oxygen therapy until discontinued. Via trach mask or t-piece (allows for the delivery of oxygen therapy to
residents who have had a tracheostomy [an opening surgically created through the neck into the windpipe
to allow air to fill the lungs]), keep oxygen saturation (O2 sat, measures what percentage of the blood is
saturated with oxygen) greater than (>) 92.
A review of Resident 34's Care Plan titled, Problem: Device-Related Complication Risk (Artificial Airway),
no date, indicated an intervention to assess and monitor airway and breathing for effective oxygenation and
ventilation; maintain close surveillance for deterioration due to airway swelling or obstruction; signs may be
subtle and provide humidification and evaluate need or suctioning to minimize risk of airway obstruction;
regularly replace closed suction equipment.
During an observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 9:04 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), in
Resident 34's room, observed the resident's t-piece (an instrument used in weaning of a resident from a
ventilator) not connected to the oxygen regulator. RN 1 stated the t-piece should be connected to the
oxygen regulator with the humidifier to administer the prescribed oxygen concentration. RN 1 stated failure
to connect the t-piece to the oxygen regulator could lead to respiratory distress.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 7:59 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated the
respiratory therapist who provided the breathing treatment should have checked if the t-piece was

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the safe and appropriate use of four (4)
bed side rails (SR) for three of four sampled residents (Resident 24, 23, and 5) investigated during review
of physical restraints by:
1. Failing to conduct an assessment including the risk for entrapment (occurs when a resident is caught
between the mattress and bed rail or within the bed rail itself) from side rails.
2. Failing to review the risk and benefits of side rails with the resident or resident representative and obtain
informed consent (process in which residents or resident representatives are given important information,
including possible risks and benefits, about a procedure or treatment).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in psychosocial harm and physical harm from
entrapment and death of residents.
Cross Reference F604
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 24's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 7/16/2020
and readmitted the resident on 3/31/2022 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury (a form of
acquired brain injury, occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain which may result to
disability or death), dysphagia (a condition in which swallowing is difficult or painful), percutaneous
endoscopic gastrotomy (PEG - also known at GT, a surgical procedure to insert a tube through the
abdomen and into the stomach used for feeding, usually via a feeding tube) placement, and chronic
respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which the lungs have a hard time loading the blood with oxygen
which may result to low oxygen level).
A review of Resident 24's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/3/2023, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
1/29/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic
tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 24's Morse Fall Risk Assessment every shift dated 4/11/2024, 4/12/2024, 4/13/2024,
and 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was a medium risk for falls and a high risk for injury.
A review of Resident 24's Order Reports did not indicate an order for use of four side rails.
A review of Resident 24's care plan did not indicate any plan of care for the use 4 bed SR up.
A review of Resident 24's electronic every shift assessment by licensed nurses dated
03/01/2024-04/14/2024, did not indicate the resident was assessed for risk of entrapment prior to use of

During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024 at 10:15 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
3 (LVN 3), observed Resident 24 in bed with four SR up. LVN 3 stated the resident places her right leg over
the SR most of the time and placing four SR in raised up position is for the safety of the resident. LVN 3
stated the resident is at risk for falls and the SR prevent the resident from falling.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/13/2024 at 10:39 a.m., with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2),
RN 2 stated Resident 24's four bed SR were placed in raised position while in bed for the resident's safety,
to prevent falls and possibly injury as resident moves a lot in the bed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/13/2024 at 4:00 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist
(IP), Resident 24's medical record including assessments, physician orders and informed consents were
reviewed. The IP verified the facility did not have an assessment, physician's order, and consent for the use
of four bed SR up while in bed because the facility does not consider SR as restraints.
During an interview on 4/14/2024 at 1:15 p.m., with the Nurse Clinician (NC), the NC stated the use four SR
up while the resident is in bed is considered use of a restraint. The NC stated there should have been an
order from the physician and assessment for entrapment risk for SR use prior to use of four SR up.
During an interview on 4/14/2024 at 1:17 p.m., with the Nurse Manager (NM), the NM stated placing the
resident's all four SR up is considered use of a restraint and there should have been an order from the
physician and assessment for entrapment risk for SR use. The NM stated it is important to notify the
Resident 24's representative of the risks and benefits of using four SR up so they (representative) would be
aware of the potential risks from using the SR such as restriction of movement, decline in functioning and
entrapment which may lead to injuries.
A review of the facility provided manufacturer's guideline for Hospital Bed 1 (HB 1), undated, indicated a

diagnoses including gastrointestinal (GI, relating to, or including both the stomach and intestine) bleed.
A review of Resident 5's H&P, dated 8/18/2023, indicated the resident had pedestrian accident sustaining
bilateral subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH, a bleeding in the space below one of the thin layers that cover
and protect the brain), left subdural hemorrhage (SDH, a buildup of blood on the surface of the brain), with
multiple facial bone fracture (partial or complete break in the bone). The H&P indicated the resident was
awake and interactive. The H&P also indicated the resident had agitation and delirium (a mental state in
which a person is confused and has reduced awareness of their surroundings) being evaluated by a psych
specialist.
A review of Resident 5's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident sometimes had the ability to make
self-understood and understand others.
A review of Resident 5's FRA, dated 4/14/2024, indicated the resident was assessed as medium risk for fall
and use of bed alarm was in place, The FRA did not indicate use of all four side rails up.
A review of Resident 5's Care Plan titled, Problem: Fall Injury Risk, initiated on 8/2/2023, indicated the
resident had a fall episode found resident sitting on the floor, at the right side of the bed. The Care Plan had
an intervention to use side rail pad to both rails as needed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 10:55 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
2 (LVN 2), in Resident 5's room, observed Resident 5 in bed with four SR in raised position. LVN 2 stated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility:
1.Failed to ensure licensed nurse did not leave an insulin pen (an injection device that you can use to
deliver preloaded insulin [controls the amount of sugar in the blood by moving it into the cells, where it can
be used by the body for energy]) unattended on top of a computer on wheels (WOW).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in unwanted serious side effects if placed in undesired
hands which can lead to harm.
2.Failed to ensure licensed nurses' account of a controlled drug record (accountability record of
medications that are considered to have a strong potential for abuse) was accurately documented per
facility policy for one of two sampled residents.
This deficient practice had the potential for medication errors.
Findings:
a. During an observation on 4/13/2024 at 12:09 p.m., observed Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) place
an insulin pen on top of a computer on wheels (wow). Observed LVN 3 walked away from the wow entering
a resident's room, leaving the insulin pen unattended.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 4/13/2024 at 12:23 p.m., Licensed LVN 3 stated that
she left the insulin pen unattended on top of the wow while she entered a resident's room. LVN 3 stated that
she should always have all medication with her at all times for safety. LVN 3 further stated that she should
not have left the insulin pen on top of the wow unattended.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration and Monitoring (Sub Acute),
revised 3/2024, indicated medications are removed from the medication cart for one resident at a time.
Once removed, medications must remain with the administering staff at all times and not left unattended.
b. A review of Resident 11's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/8/2023 with
diagnosis that included respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on your own)
and seizure disorder (a sudden, uncontrolled burst of electrical activity in the brain).
A review of Resident 11's Physician's Order dated 12/11/2023 indicated Lacosamide (Vimpat- to treat
partial-onset seizures) 10 milligram (mg - unit of measurement)/milliliter (mL - unit of measurement) liquid

During an interview and concurrent record review with Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3) on 4/13/2024 at 3:56
p.m., RN 2 reviewed Resident 11's controlled-drug record and stated that Resident 11's controlled drug
record for Lacosamide (Vimpat) not accurate. RN 3 stated that on 3/8/2024 20 mL was administered and on
3/9/2024 15 mL was administered, remaining should have been 10 mL, not 5 mL. RN 3 stated that licensed
nurses should have checked the bottle and levels carefully to ensure that the accurate amount in the bottles
matches what is documented on the controlled drug record at the start of every shift.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Nurse Manager (NM) on 4/13/2023 at 7:01 p.m.,
the NM reviewed Resident 11's controlled drug record and stated that Resident 11's controlled drug record
for Lacosamide (Vimpat) count is wrong. Amount remaining should have been 10 mL not 5 mL. Staff should
have identified the discrepancy in the beginning of the shift and reported the discrepancy per the facility's
policy.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Controlled Medication Storage, dated 8/2014, indicated
medications included in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classification as controlled substances
are subject to special handling, storage, disposal, and recordkeeping in the facility in accordance with
federal, state, and other applicable laws and regulations. At each shift change, physical inventory of all
controlled medications, including the emergency supply is conducted by two licensed nurses and is
documented on the controlled medication accountability record. Any discrepancy in controlled substance
medication count is reported to the director of nursing immediately. The director or designee investigates
and makes every reasonable effort to reconcile all reported discrepancies. The director of nursing
documents irreconcilable discrepancies in a report to the administrator.

use was only limited to two of five residents (Residents 23 and 5) selected for unnecessary medications
review.
The deficient practice had the potential to result in the use of unnecessary psychotropic drugs for residents
and can lead to side effect and adverse (unwanted) consequence such as a decline in quality of life and
functional capacity.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 23's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility admitted the resident on
3/13/2024, with a diagnosis of respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 23's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/3/2024, indicated the resident had a history
of post traumatic cervical-spine injury (involves damage to any part of the spinal cord), quadriplegia (a
life-altering condition that results in a loss of control of both arms and both legs), and septic shock (a
life-threatening condition that happens when the blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an
infection). The H&P indicated the resident was on a ventilator (a machine that helps a person breathe) with
occasional grunting.
A review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/20/2023, indicated the resident rarely to never had the ability to make self-understood and
understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 23 had an active diagnosis of depression.
A review of Resident 23's All Active Orders, dated 3/14/2024, indicated an order for lorazepam (Ativan,
used to treat anxiety) tablet 0.5 milligrams (mg, a unit of weight) per gastrostomy tune (g-tube, a tube
inserted through the wall of the abdomen directly to the stomach) every 6 hours PRN.
PRN reasons: Anxiety
Admin instructions: diagnosis (Dx) Anxiety monitor for behavior (m/b) hyperventilation (rapid or deep
breathing) leading to shortness of breath (SOB).
A review of Resident 23's Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regiment Review (MRR) between 1/1/2024
and 1/30/2024, indicated the medications were reviewed by the consultant pharmacist. The MRR created
between 2/1/2024 and 2/29/2024, indicated a recommendation from the pharmacist the resident has an
order for PRN Ativan 0.5 mg. Please, specify the stop date. A new order can be written if the attending
physician or prescribing practitioner evaluates the resident for the appropriateness of that medication and
documents their rationale in the resident's medical record and indicates the duration for the PRN order.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility staff failed to implement its infection control program to
two out of 23 sampled residents (Residents 5 and 3) during resident screening by failing to ensure:
Residents Affected - Few
1. The suction canister (a temporary storage container for secretions or fluids removed from the body) of
Resident 5, labeled 4/5/2024 was discarded and replaced per facility policy.
2. The urinal bottle (frequently used in healthcare for residents who find it impossible or difficult to get out of
bed) was labeled with the name, date, and room number of Resident 3.
These deficient practices had to potential to spread infection among residents.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 5's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 8/28/2021, with a
diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI, relating to, or including both the stomach and intestine) bleed.
A review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/18/2023, indicated the resident had a history
of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, a medical procedure to improve blood flow to the heart), craniotomy
(a surgical procedure in which a part of the skull is temporarily removed to expose the brain), and
tracheostomy (an opening surgically created through the neck into the windpipe to allow air to fill the lungs).
The H&P indicated the resident was awake and interactive.
A review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/23/2024, indicated the resident sometimes had the ability to make self-understood and
understand others.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2024, at 10:55 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
2 (LVN 2), inside Resident 5's room, observed the suction canister of the resident dated 4/5/2024. LVN 2
stated the suction canister should be changed weekly to prevent the growth and transmission of infection
among residents.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 8 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated the suction canister should
have been changed on 4/12/2024. The NM stated the suction canisters were changed weekly to prevent
growth of bacteria on the suction canisters that could cause infection to vulnerable residents.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedures titled, Mechanical Ventilation, Monitoring and Care,
Long-term Care, last reviewed on12/11/2023, indicated for suction canister, replacement schedule was
weekly and when three quarters full and the supply should be dated and initialed.

the resident's bed. CNA 3 stated the urinals should be labeled with the name, date, and room number of
the resident so they know when to change them and to prevent interchanging urinals that could cause
infection.
During an interview on 4/14/2024, at 8 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated the staff should label the
urinal with date, room number, and the name of the resident to know when to change the urinals and to
prevent switching urinals with other residents to prevent infection.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1)
Department of Epidemiology & Infection Prevention 2024 Scope of Service, Surveillance Plan, Risk
Assessment, and 2023 Program Evaluation, undated, indicated infection control is multi-disciplinary,
systemic approach to quality patient care that emphasizes risk reduction of disease transmission in a
health care environment. It can further be defined as the establishment of a program or a plan of action to
prevent disease transmission in those cases that cannot be prevented. This is accomplished by setting
controls or standards that have been proven to be effective in minimizing those infections that cannot be
prevented, preventing those that can be, and providing early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of all
infections.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy and procedures for
antimicrobial stewardship (AMS- a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials
[including antibiotics, drugs used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms],
improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused
by multidrug-resistant organisms) for one of six sampled residents (Resident 2) when clindamycin (an
antibiotic) was ordered on 1/29/2024 as indefinite and the facility failed to monitor the antibiotic use for 77
days.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to receive an inappropriate antibiotic and develop
antibiotic resistance (when bacteria/germs change in some way that reduces or eliminates the
effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections).
Findings:
A review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/28/2023.
Resident 2's diagnoses included history of multidrug resistant pseudomonas proteus (bacteria that have
become resistant to certain antibiotics) and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA- is a cause
of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics), quadriplegia (a form of
paralysis that affects all four limbs, plus the torso), and multiple sclerosis (MS-a long-lasting [chronic]
disease of the central nervous system).
A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care-screening tool),
dated 12/22/2023, indicated the resident's cognitive (involving conscious intellectual activity such as
thinking, reasoning, or remembering) skills for daily decision-making was intact.
A review of the Physician's Orders for Resident 2 dated 1/29/2024 indicated clindamycin 1% gel two times
a daily for chronic respiratory failure (a condition in which not enough oxygen passes from the lungs into
the blood) unspecified whether with hypoxia (deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues) or
hypercapnia (elevation of carbon dioxide in the blood). Length of therapy indicated indefinite.
A review of Resident 2's Medication Administration Record (MAR- is a report detailing the drugs
administered to a patient by a healthcare professional at a treatment facility) for clindamycin 1% gel two
times a daily for chronic respiratory failure unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia indicated:
January 2024: given 5 times (9 a.m. and 9 p.m.).
February 2024: given 58 times (9 a.m. and 9 p.m.).
March 2024: given 62 times (9 a.m. and 9 p.m.).
April 2024: given 27 times (9 a.m. and 9 p.m.).
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/14/2024 at 2:41 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist
(IP) of Resident 2's Physician Orders, the IP stated Resident 2 was on clindamycin topically (to the skin).

The IP stated antibiotics should not be used indefinitely, antibiotics should have a stop date. The IP stated
antibiotics require a stop date to ensure the resident does not develop a resistance to the antibiotics. The IP
stated Resident 2's clindamycin should have been included in the antibiotic stewardship program, and that
if its use had been documented, they could have caught the indefinite length of treatment.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview, on 4/14/2024 at 6:28 p.m., the Nurse Manager (NM) stated Resident 2 should not have
any antibiotic with an indefinite order; the use of antibiotic should have a time frame to determine the
efficacy (effectiveness). The NM stated there is a concern with the antibiotic drug resistance when the
antibiotic order does not have an end date. The NM stated the antibiotic stewardship was created to monitor
antibiotic use.
A review of the current facility-provided policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS)
Program, last revised in 06/2023, indicated to implement a comprehensive antimicrobial stewardship
